UPCOMING CLASSES WITH DUG North
I will be teaching two classes at the upcoming Moose Ridge Gathering in Upton, Maine from July 23rd to 26th. For those who don’t know, the Moose Ridge Gathering is an experience of learning and community. Attendees can choose from 20 or more classes offered by experts in ancestral skills, homesteading, traditional crafts, survival skills, nature connection, herbalism, bushcraft, and more. I’ll be teaching how to make baton slings and copper blanket pins.
You can learn more about the gathering and get on the waiting list on the Moose Ridge Gathering website.
Making, using, and appreciating interesting items from the past
I’m Dug North from Season 12 of the HISTORY Channel show ALONE. I have a passion for learning, making things, and then sharing what I have learned with others. I believe these acts are fundamental to what make us human. My job is to help you see this point of view and incorporate some of it into your life.
The topics that interest me most include the following:
Wilderness, bushcraft skills, ancestral skills
Using vintage and antique hand tools
Projectile throwers, as small as slingshots and as large as trebuchets
Metalworking, woodworking, and other old-school fabrication methods
Check out the page with some of the Things I’ve Made for inspiration.
I have a YouTube channel where I show you how to make some things yourself.
